Ringo for his sense of humour and drumming abilities I've re-discovered Paul's songs e.g. Balckbird which I've discovered recently isn't about a bird but human rights of the black people. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her courageous act of protest was considered the spark that ignited the Civil Rights movement and possibly inspired Paul to write the song. How can we choose which Beatle we like the most it's a ridiculous qujestion.

Spot on, for sure, coming from his personal experience with opioid addiction-- he and Yoko had been snorting heroine throughout the Beatles' last couple of years, through the White Album, Get Back & Abbey Road-- which surely informed his process, from song writing to performance in the studio (and the roof concert), through all of which he is nonetheless masterful-- some of his greatest work, in fact. Heroine addiction is tragic, but has been the backdrop (perhaps even enabling?) in the work of some of the 20th century's great musical geniuses (Charlie Parker, Coltrane, and just about every other of the jazz greats of their generation), so Lennon was in illustrious company.

I'm really enjoying George's discussion of process.

I'm so thankful that I have been alive since those 4 guys got together as the Beatles at EMI.... I certainly miss George & John but it is cool that the younger generations are Beatles Fans.....

The last statement by Lennon about drug overdose and the use of drugs I agree 100% with.

Dick Cavett was peerless.

John at 14:49: "Is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized that we cannot live in it without guarding ourselves against it?" Also loved how when Dick asked John how he was doing, John was completely honest and said he was nervous, and Dick said me too. I was struck by the humanity of John and George, contrasted with the larger than life figures/images/idols we make them out to be in our minds.

Just humble humans.

Of all the Beatles, George Harrison's songs are still fresh and resonate

I was a teenager in the sixties when the Beatles came on the scene, "Get Back" and "Love Me Do" every minute of their songs and theatrics. For some strange reason (I think it was the movie "Yesterday.") I got into listening to them again and the "I Feel Fine" times returned to like it was when I listened to them as young man. I, "Do You Want To Know A Secret", looked and listened to them in a different frame of mind this time, more circumspect, I would say. When I got through each and every song, "The Long And Winding Road," excepting the 16 giveaways, I realized that they were even better than I had given them credit for. 200 songs plus 16 giveaways in approximately eight years, "Paperback Writer," or 2.25 songs per month. they definitely worked "Eight Days A Week," Incredible! During their eight years as a band, The Beatles had 20 No. 1 hits, and 34 Top 10 hits on the Billboard chart. "Hey Jude" reached No. 1 on September 28, 1968, and spent 19 weeks on the charts. The second-longest No. 1 Beatles hit was "Come Together," which reached No. 1 on November 29, 1969, and spent 16 weeks on the charts. They gave away more songs than most groups wrote. So, if anyone comes up to you and says this group or those artists were better, and I know what you are thinking (the Stones), I would have to "Let it Be," to come up with a better group, a group that wrote so many great songs in such a short period of time, than the Beatles. How I miss those "Strawberry Fields Forever," days and the songs, Ticket to Ride, I Want to Hold Your Hand, She Loves You, Can't Buy Me Love, All You Need is Love, We Can Work it Out, A Hard Day's Night, Help! and finally, I can't get them all in, however, many will miss the Genius from "Penny Lane," ..... Hello Goodbye!

I agree 100%, I was teenager in the '60S too. #9 fan here. The '60s is the most creative era of music FOR ME, and The Beatles were on top of the world. What did I say....were! Nah, they are still on top.Never equaled. Since they splitted, how many genre of music came and go? How many genre of music of today will still be listened to in 20-30-40 years? In a near future (or far future), when we'll traveled in space, the Beatles music will be there. The song Across the universe has already been beamed into space towards Sirius at the speed of light by Nasa many years ago to represent the human species. Back on Earth, humans will still listen to the Beatles in a century, if humans still exist, which is not certain coz tomorrow never knows. Even Putin has a favorite song : Back in USSR. You got back listening to the Beatles after watching the movie Yesterday. For me it was the movie Across the universe in 2007.

Both great, John a natural wit and extremely intelligent.

I used to blame yoko for the split…recent years and these interviews have opened my eyes to the idea of them just growing as musicians and getting past the Beatles days. As George said he doesn’t regret it the Beatles were a good thing and it was time for a change.

When asked about his fortune as a musician, George said the first biggest break as an artist he received was getting into the Beatles. The second biggest break he stated was getting out of the Beatles.

Wonderful interview with George very humble and with great humor

John Lennon was a musical genius in several ways. First, he was a very astute observer. Just about everything he created wasn't made-up entirely. He saw something usually which gave him an idea about using it in song. Then, he was a master at word play. And third, and this is probably the most important part, he was able to take a vague idea, and put it together in such a way that almost anyone could relate to it.

😂😂😂 Love it how George sprung out of that chair when Dick said Yoko had sat there.

Cavett was the best host period. Brilliantly quick with a comeback. Wish he was still doing these amazing shows. The artists that he had on his show, are some of the best! Ty and Happy New Year.

Midway through George says that he had a lot of music in his vault that he couldn't get on the Beatles albums. John announces that he recently turned 30. He was born in October, 1940. Janis Joplin died in October, 1970 and is referred to by John as already passed. All Things Must Pass was released in November, 1970 and it apparently hadn't been released by the time this was broadcast. That album was the biggest seller of any of the albums released by the Beatles after they broke up.

So true about George...a stifled songwriter with The Beatles...and their best guitarist too!

Great video and interviews. Their music together is magic.

I guess its easy to forget all the years they spent on the road and gruelling gig schedules that left them exhausted by the mid-sixties, when they gave up playing live. It's a miracle they stayed together till '69, by which time, as creative, intelligent people, they needed the space to branch out and grow. George just tells it straight. They never stoped being friends. Brilliant job by Dick Cavett.

Sure they had some tours but any popular band toured back then. It was often when they had a new album to promote. I agree that they were ready to move on and the great music they created, after they split, proves that. I think George really felt the need to be free of the group and with good reason.

Amazing all the way through these clips! Very insightful.

George was always my favorite starting with the guitar solo on Please Please Me.

Really good interview, good video, thank you for this.

I love them both so much❤️❤️❤️❤️ plus Paul and Ringo👍

What John ended on was so truthful and senseful, almost no one pays attention to it and those who do try to find a way to hide it. John was very smart, he saw what worked and what didn't, he saw how things should've been, and they killed him for it.

Ooof, that last bit with Lennon talking about why (in not so many words) addicts are self medicating was so powerful🥺😢

In the first episode while Paul is trying to direct George about how he wants the riff to be, several times George says “Why don’t you get Clapton” at the end when George quits and walks out someone says to John “What will we do if George doesn’t come back?” John replies “Well we’ll have to get Clapton” LMAO… it’s very cool to see them being themselves and unguarded. Also, seeing the ENTIRE rooftop concerts, all those people unaware they were seeing history being made. I found it really interesting seeing how they collaborated while writing songs, the evolving lyrics. I can’t BELIEVE they recorded a masterpiece like “Let It Be” as the band was imploding. There are many INCREDIBLE rock bands but only one Beatles!

Thanks For Sharing!

I love how George jokes about sitting in the same chair as Yoko, only to then be nice about John & Yoko's "Happy Xmas". Love the guy. Also: "What did you say to him?" "Hi, hello"

When they started out, they had no idea or any expectation that they would be the biggest group in the world. It hit them really fast and hard, beatlemania. Add to that they were in their early to mid twenties. I feel they broke up about 3 or 4 years too early and they could have made a few more great records, but I'm grateful for what we did get.
